Been really wanting to get back into RP and looking longly at 
but I also don't really trust myself with how bad my executive dysfunction has gotten.
but I also don't really trust myself with how bad my executive dysfunction has gotten.
I'm thinking I'm gonna aim for playing on the upcoming TDM and see how that goes for me.
Might wait to actually sign up until after I can get in to see a doctor and get back on some ADHD meds now that I have the money for that.
Currently caught between wanting to play as Jack just because I'm back in a Jack Spicer kind of mood and he could be really fun there, or Inertia. Hunter from ToH got me feeling all kinds of "what could'a been" feels for Thad. Plus he's got so much built-in CR there.
Oh man both would be great and I'd be happy to give you an invite
Jack is lots of fun and Thad and Hunter could have clone issues
Although that would be really funny bc Hunter's clone issues are slightly different
I was thinking about that. Both of them actually getting to interact with fellow clones with a somehwat similer backstory.
He'd think Thad was like way high strung about the original being there.
Oh yeah! It would be interesting to explore their very different feeling about their orginals
Like thad, calm down
The unnatural nature of the cloning process, the disposability he had to the one he loved as a parent, and worries about individuality due to a constant cycle of creation and death where they all made the same choice are more his issues
But he'd be real good at telling thad "your dad sounds terrible and you're just mad at this guy basically because your dad told you to be"
Throw off the shackles of your clone oppression thad
Anyway just let me know. I think the tdm might come after apps tho so you may need to wait next cycle for it to be post tdm
If you decide to go for it I'll put in the invite request at the state of the game before you app
Also highstrung is a very kind way to describ his feeling on Bart XD
I think Thad kinda knows at this point that his 'father" is the asshole here, but a century's worth of pooring hate into a single person/family is hard to snap out of even with the logic of the situation staring him right in the face.

I'll def be waiting for the next cycle, I want to make sure I'm not gonna be signing up and pettering out within a month. I'm hoping that if I get back on meds I might even be able to go for both.
Thinking about it, I think in return, Thad has a lot less issues about being someone's copy then Hunter does, weirdly enough. At least as far as questions of "am a a real person" goes. He knew from the start that he was one and doesn't feel like any less of a person because of it.
He would be very "if people have a problem with you being a clone THEY'RE the problem".
which he needs to hear bc he is so terrified to tell any friends ever
Thad will very open about being a clone, he'll also be coming stright from the end of his run on Impuse and still has that Bart hair, so it's not like he can hide it anyway. But he'll be very firm on the stance of "I'm person and I should have been treated like a person".
But also very "It's not fair that Bart got that but I didn't"
But also very "It's not fair that Bart got that but I didn't"
Hunter: :\ [sympathy] And whose fault was it that you didn't?
Hunter: His or your dad's?
Thad: [stubbornly] Both! And only one of them is around for me to punch
Hunter, who has spend literally his whole life living with constant self-restraint: [rolls his eyes] It's an either/or question.
Hunter: Your dad could have just raised you. He could have treated you like a son. Instead, he made you for his goals and taught you what he needed to to make you try to achieve them for him.
Hunter: You were so busy trying to please someone who didn't want to be your father that you missed the fact you could've had a brother.
Gods. Thad's reaction to Bart living on a farm and being a lot more chill will be priceless.
korel: oh god, that would go into such a painful conversation after that, I think. fuck! the idea of them inevitably comparing their creators and the need to "earn" the chance to be loved.
Hunter fortunately has gotten there so
he's terrified of Belos but recognizes him for what he is and knows to seek love elsewhere
Bugly42: Just the fact that Bart is suddenly older would wig him out. XD There's so much he doens't know about this verson of Bart and that makes his dangerious in his mind.
So it's just very like trying to mountain guide him to the realization his creator is a fucking dick
Come on buddy you can make it
A Bart and a Thad????
SeeMarieRun: I'm getting the mental image of Kon and Tim looming at some point
Thad just got to the point of really questioning his creator, and never "earned" the chance to even interact with him. He realizes what the man did to him was wrong, but he's def still struggling with rationalizing it.
SeeMarieRun: XD Hopefully!
In the third Tim and Kon batman vs superman team up they don't go hang out with Hiro they threaten to break Thad's legs
I really need to read that series.
But yeah I’m gonna need permission to have Tim gank him out of his speedster shit
Like how Bats stop Bart.
Anyway Hunter would just be there drawing a map to "your dad = dick" and he'd be like "it's an earth word that I've been told is appropriate in this situation"
SeeMarieRun: Permission pre-granted!
Because Tim hasn’t forgotten what Inertia did
Interia has no idea what he did yet but I don't think he would be shocked to get ganked by bart's friends
to add to his collection
YES
Skittering_Roach: Poor Thad
Tim’s just gonna be like “So I’m going to go threaten to end an evil speedster anyone want to come”
All things considered, I don't feel that bad for him, honestly. He probably wouldn't even take it personally, their Bart's friends, of course they would threaten to end him if he goes after Bart again. It would end up confirming some of his skewed views on the real morality of heroes though. That they can and SHOULD kill off big enough threats.
I think he would be way more alarmed by them knowing his future, though.
hey kon would limit it to breaking his legs if he gunned for bart again
he's never pretended to be anti-bone-breaking
Tim wouldn’t kill him but. He’d think some very very dark thoughts and plans if Thad went after Bart.
SeeMarieRun: I think even just a threat would be enough to confirm things in his mind. He already thinks that's the way with heroes, having grown up on stories of the Flash murdering Eobard. Like, a threat would be enough for him to take them seriously on that.
korel: Thad: If we're going for ways you can permanently take someone out without killing them [proceeds to rattle off all the ways you could do that, in a way that probably comes off as completely clinical and cold, but for him is nervous info dumping]
Bart would probably try to be nice, which would weird him out even more.
Oh god, yeah! Very much!
Just gets angrier and more frustrated that Bart won't give him anything to be pissed about. Especially if he's talking with Hunter about letting his grudge against him go. Because he WANTS someone to be mad at and Bart has been his target for his whole life. Having to change that up isn't going to be easy.

Bart would be like "I've got a spare bedroom, a cat and 11 hens on a farm."
He wants to give him the opportunity to have the change he said he was going to try for.
Bart no
Bart: Hey, if he's going to try and steal my life, he should at least try it on first, right?
Thad's gonna think that's suss as hell. At the very least it's gonna freak him out a little, especially if he finds out Bart was killed by his future self. I don't think he could fathom being that level of kind and trusting to someone who killed you.
Also congrats on the 11 hens and a cat Bart! That's so cute! Good for him!
That is such a bart move
that is also way more IC than him fantasizing killing thad tbh
(That titans run was awful)
Oh my god yeah, I still hate that so much. Like we know how Bart deals with trauma and it's not like THAT.
He's channeling his inner Max and decided that being in rural Kansas felt better than the not!Gotham that is Central City or the City of the future that is Excelsior. And Sunset Falls has magic so that's out, too.
I really like that for him. Something more Rural probably would feel more like home for him, that's really sweet
I realized Iris, Joan and Helen are probably some of the chicken's names, too. Apparently they're all getting named for strong women in his life.
That's so freakin' cute! 
I love it!
I love it!
The other two are Barbara (Gordon) and Jane (Foster) due to CR from MoM.
Barbara was the smart, independent leader type from the start, and turned out to be red, too. Jane got named because she would try to stay out stargazing instead of coming in to roost.
Love that he put so much thought into their names
Well, he let Godzilla name one because the big guy was so excited about the chicks.
They have a guard kaiju.
But this is Bart. He overthinks every little thing.
